The cafe at work served a chicken tortilla soup, somewhat like the soup I made yesterday. Except for the addition of hominy. I've never had hominy before so decided to try it.
What is hominy? Essentially corn kernels soaked in an alkali solution to remove the hull and germ of the corn. The result is a puffed up piece of grain.
After doing some online research, it seems that hominy is featured in pozole, which is a Mexican soup of meat, chili peppers and hominy. Hominy is also dried and ground up to make grits.
The soup was good, but not really an improvement over the more traditional chicken tortilla soup. I've heard pozole is very good, but spicy. If you have a great recipe, please share!
